Chapter 308 Prophecy
Zhang Yan: "That's exactly what I was thinking too."
The two hit it off immediately and discussed how to steal Zhou Haihai's props. In the end, they decided to just steal them.
The two of them suddenly disappeared from the group chat.
Soon, Zhou Haihai burst into a tirade in the chat: "Which two bastards stole my crystal ball? You better not let me find you, or I'll tear you both to pieces!"
Over here, Lu Cheng and Zhang Yan almost got into a fight over who would own the crystal ball.
In the end, Zhang Yan got the crystal ball, which made Lu Cheng so angry that he jumped up and down.
Zhang Yan wiped the crystal ball with a soft, clean towel and then placed it on the table.
The next moment, the crystal ball flashed with a golden light.
Then a picture appears, with a man in the center of the picture.
The man is him, yet not him.
The body is his; he would never mistake it. After all, such a perfect body is something that no one else in the world could match.
But the man's face was completely unfamiliar.
The merchant Lear, whom he had met, knelt devoutly at the man's feet.
What's most chilling is that there were five men and women, and a dog, standing in front of the man, all with lifeless eyes, like puppets on strings.
He was among the five!
The image gradually faded away and quickly disappeared.
But Zhang Yan could only see him as a puppet.
Is this... a prophecy about him?
Is this crystal ball not only able to predict new maps, but also the future of players?
His future...
Why was it like that?
Who is that man?
What about the other four men and women?
And what about that dog?
Zhang Yan's already small brain capacity almost crashed.
A moment later, he shook his head, trying to shake the image from his mind.
This crystal ball can predict the player's future and perhaps help them avoid some dangers.
He traded the crystal ball to Meng Qingyin: "This crystal ball can predict the player's future. Quickly predict your future!"
Looking at the sparkling crystal ball, Meng Qingyin was stunned for once.
This crystal ball... can predict the player's future?
She stared at the crystal ball for a long time, but the crystal ball did not react at all.
Meng Qingyin pursed her lips, feigning confusion as she sent Zhang Yan a message: "How do you know the crystal ball can predict the future? Did Zhou Haihai tell you?"
Zhang Yan: "No, I saw it myself. I saw my own future in the crystal ball."
Meng Qingyin's expression turned serious: "You said you saw your future? What will your future be like? Are you sure it's not an illusion?"
Zhang Yan: "Of course it's not a hallucination! I'm absolutely certain I saw my future in the crystal ball. As for what my future will be like... I can't tell you that."
The scene was too bizarre; he felt he shouldn't end up like that.
As for the other four players who also became puppets...
Zhang Yan thought that perhaps he could find a way to locate them and together they could rewrite their fate as puppets.
But he had never seen those four people before, and he didn't know how to find them.
Fortunately, he can switch regions. If they're not in this region, he can try several more and eventually find them.
Meng Qingyin didn't know what Zhang Yan had seen, so she didn't ask any further questions.
Zhang Yan is a very easygoing person; perhaps we can deduce something from his behavior.
She stared at the crystal ball for another minute, but it remained unchanged.
A moment later, Meng Qingyin traded the crystal ball to Chen Leying: "Zhang Yan said the crystal ball can predict the player's future, give it a try."
Chen Leying: "Okay."
Five minutes later, Chen Leying replied: "There are no predictions about me."
Mengmeng: "I don't have any either."
Chen Leying: "Zhang Yan is lying?"
Mengmeng: "Probably not. I guess it's because of his special status. Do you remember what was written on the letter? Zhang Yan isn't an ordinary player."
Chen Leying: "At the time, we speculated that he was created."
Mengmeng: "Don't you think his ability is special? He can travel between all the districts, which means he can come into contact with more players."
Mengmeng: "If our speculation is correct, and Zhang Yan really was a created person, then did the creator create more people like him? How are they connected?"
Chen Leying: "You mean, Zhang Yan's ability can help him find the other people who were created?"
Mengmeng: "This is just my speculation. But I think that even if other artificial beings exist, Zhang Yan might not know of their existence. Because Lear is also looking for them."
Chen Leying: "Perhaps your speculation is correct, but what is the creator's intention in doing this? Zhang Yan... Can we have an open and honest talk with Zhang Yan?"
Upon seeing the letter, everyone's first reaction was that Zhang Yan must not know its contents. They subconsciously added Zhang Yan, along with his creator, to their list of potential threats.
However, after getting to know Zhang Yan, she found that apart from being narcissistic, he was actually a decent person.
Perhaps, the creator behind it didn't have any ulterior motives?
Mengmeng: "Let me think about it."
Back then, the White Fox asked her to find out Zhang Yan's secrets, and specifically instructed her not to let Zhang Yan know.
The white fox must have its purpose in doing this, or perhaps it has some kind of plan.
If I rashly tell Zhang Yan the truth, it will disrupt the White Fox's plans, which would be bad.
Perhaps, she could find an opportunity to ask [White Fox] again.
Chen Leying: "Hmm. But since we don't plan to tell Zhang Yan about the letter right now, it's best not to let him have this crystal ball."
Meng Qingyin understood her meaning; if Zhang Yan saw other prophecies through the crystal ball, it could easily cause trouble.
Meng Qingyin messaged Zhang Yan: "This crystal ball is truly magical, how about you sell it to me?"
Zhang Yan was very generous: "You want it? Then I'll give it to you."
Mengmeng: "Okay, then I won't be polite."
Zhang Yan: "When are you going to keep your promise to treat me to dinner?"
Meng Qingyin glanced at the sky outside; it was almost time for dinner.
Mengmeng: "Let's do it tonight then."
Zhang Yan was very excited: "Great! I'll come over to your place as soon as I've packed up!"
Meng Qingyin sent a message in the group: "Come over to my place tonight, I'll treat everyone to dinner."
Zhang Yan: "??"
I'm a lucky winner (poor guy version): "Yay! I want to order!"
Drowning his sorrows in strong liquor: "I don't feel like cooking today, so I'll go to Mengmeng's house for a free meal!"
I'm unlucky: "I brought two bottles of good wine."
The energetic old man said, "It's a rare gathering, let's drink until we drop tonight!"
Chen Leying: "Okay!"
Zhang Yan privately messaged Meng Qingyin: "Why did you call them?"
He thought it was a romantic date for two, but who knew there were five third wheels!
